to answer your question...yes you can use the vci just like a cdj with an on board mixer.... however you may want to use the fader from the mixer at the club ( external mixer ) to mix and all that which you can do as well...but is depandant on which sound card you get....
no problem...its pretty simple man...if you need the tks file you can find it on vestaxs site..or you cna ask anyone of us....i personally use the regular old tks file .....
and i am playing with "super knobs" at the moment...look back in the archive as Ean made a great tutorial on these....
as far as a sound card Ean also made a video on this site...i think it all comes down to preference and wht your willing to spend....
some use the Audio 8 Dj from Native instruments...some use the presonus firebox...
you really just got to look at how many inputs or outputs you want....as for me i thought i would need alot of inputs/outputs...which is why i chose the motu ultralite...basically my friend who spins on tables can run his sound through my sound card at the same time i am jamming......
its a tough decision...but educating yourself on this site will defintley help you out...
first question is whats ur budget?

DELL XPS M1710 : MOTU Ultralite : VCI-100
dirty electro funky hip house:eek:
My budget is around 500$. I figured $150 for M audio Pro and $400 for VCI. But yeah under 600.
What cable would I use to connect my VCI to an external souncard?
the M-Audio will work fine for you.
The sound card connects to your laptop not the vci
the VCI connects to the laptop via USB
ah there we go! lol thanks so wait wait would i ever need an external sound card? Or would I need it only to connect speakers to and a headphone input?
if you want to be able to prelisten to tracks you need an external sound card .So you can listen to the next song you plan on playing and make sure it's synced up with the song playing .
Does the VCI have buttons I can assign samples to? So I can have my reggae horns going off regularly ??? :P
